Kangxi should be regarded as a wise and wise monarch. When he was young, he suffered a lot to keep the throne. Later, he did his best for the country and the people. His courtiers were basically competent, and his harem was fairly clean. He ruled the vast empire for 61 years. I don't really believe that such an emperor passed the throne to a 12(11)-year-old grandson because he spent a short time together.
some people say that it is very good to take a fancy to Sun Tzu's Hongli's future and then pass it on to Lao Si. That's how Sima Yan passed on the throne. However, Kangxi has many grandchildren, who are active in front of his eyes, and he likes Hongli more than one. Hongli didn't see Kangxi under the recommendation of Yongzheng until he was in his teens, which in itself explained some problems.
personally, I think it should be that among many princes who took office, he liked Yongzheng's pragmatism before he paid attention to Hongli. Qianlong once said to himself, "Sun Chennian is young, and his nature is dull, and Gu Te is favored by others. Isn't it that my emperor loves my father's heart and is more devoted than other grandchildren!" Hongli's eight characters are very good, which may make Kangxi, who was interested in the fourth child, strengthen his mind.
Kangxi is very fond of many grandchildren. Many of his grandchildren have been trained in the palace. For example, the sons of eight, nine and ten brothers have all been trained in the palace. When Hongwang, the son of eight, was nine years old, the imperial palace walked. The younger son of fourteen, Hongming, was a young servant of the imperial palace. His two sons were always by Kangxi's side. Kangxi also took them to Jehol Summer Resort and Mulan paddock. A lot of silver silks were given to fourteen daughters (the emperor's father was kind and loving to my minister Hongming Hongjie, and they were taken to Jehol. All kinds of food were given in turn. The emperor's father taught my son Hongchun and Hongkie to take them to Mulan paddock and send them to the capital for Hongming's wife. The emperor's father thought everything over and sent them by the special guards and Bayala. I also heard the plaque and couplets of the Emperor's father's office, and rewarded the wedding in a new house.)
The third son, Hongsheng, was given the title of prince, who served as the Minister of Military Affairs in Northwest China and the Acting Forward Commander in charge of Firearms Camp. If you look at this name, you should know that you have to be capable to hold an important position. Hongxi, the other son of Lao San, has long been studying beside Fourteen.
..., which Hongli has never experienced.
there is no denying that Kangxi likes Hongli. But it's a bit boastful to say that I like him and pass on his treasure wholeheartedly. In the long years after he ascended the throne, Ganlong loved his grandfather, and often missed the little short time he spent together, exaggerating to the world that he was his favorite grandson.-With Ganlong's character, what he said was somewhat watery. However, the winner is a prince and the loser is a coach. When he becomes an emperor, it doesn't matter how he says it. Who can stand him? He said yes, the opera was sung like this, and it came true when it was passed on.
